Want a cool place to eat? I highly recommend Yaffa Café, located at 97 St. Marks in Manhattan. The food is cheap, the people
are colorful, and the atmosphere is great. Plus, where else do you get a free condom with your change?? You can call (212)

Hope everyone finds something they might want to do! Look forward to some more cheap (yet cool) places to go (and things
to do) when you’re not in school!
